see these days its different its all new
the world is gone and i am too
wishing i was closer to back when it used to matter
all my coins gone its plastic now
my ipods got me asking how, could all my albums take me down
back when it used to matter

now it seems that we are all wrapped up so tight light just cant get in
and i feel that we cant see
now it seems that we are all wrapped up so tight light just cant get in
and i feel its not maybe

so now my watch is worthless so is my pen
and it seems nothing greater than something that takes me way back when
back when it used to matter
all the words that i write are on a screen and the friends i have have added me
and theres no record of anything and now we all cese to matter

now it seems that we are all wrapped up so tight light just cant get in
and i feel we cant see
no no
now its seems that we are all wrapped up so tight light just cant get in
and i feel its not maybe, its not maybe

so you tight when you turn 22 but they gonna wait to bury you
because you got a 9 to 5 to do and thats supposed to matter
and you replace your time in between with other peoples hopes and dreams
they live their lives on your tv and now you dont even matter
oh it seems that we are all wrapped up so tight light just never gets in
and i feel that we cant see we cant see
aw we aw we are wrapped up so tight light just cant get in
light just never gets in
aw we cant see
its not maybe
its certainly
and i know we can see i just want us to be who were supposed to be who were supposed to be
and who we are and doesnt it seem like were kinda far from the original plan from the start
back when it used to matter
